Re: [Unattended] oemDrivers supports only 8 letters

I found "DriverPacks" (driverpacks.net) to fix most of my issues 
relating to drivers. They uses cab files with short names and unpack 
them during the first GUI part of the install. Saved me a lot of 
headaches relating to the limitations of Windows Setup.

[Unattended] oemDrivers supports only 8 letters

2008-08-29 Thread Intraweb
I have a problem with the filename length. Some drivers are using more than
8 letters.

(ex. ATI, .)

 

Seems to be a problem that freedos uses only FAT16. Is there a solution to
use FAT32 and to have a longer filename length for the oem drivers.

 

Thanks in advance.

PS:

How about copying the OEM folder in linux and then dosemu/freedos do the
rest?
